    Jupiter hasn't been able to able to fit through the gap at the top of the Shanghai World Financial Centre ever since that unfortunate period of weight gain.
    I wish I knew all those years ago that simply joining this board and proclaiming myself to be rational would magically transform my uninformed opinions into science; it would have saved me a lot of time and effort.

    Jupiter hasn't been the same since people stopped believing it's just water retention.

    The mayor of Bielefeld lost his re-election bid over the scandal from his failure to pay for his transit of Venus in 2004.

    Venus has been claimed to be one of the bigger 'strayed' satellites of Jupiter. They are now working out how to drag it back to it's original orbit, Its' affinity for the Sun notwithstanding.

    Commercial flights to Venus have been suspended until the repositioning is completed.

    Transitional fossils are rare because the animal has to die during a transition of Venus or Mercury.

    This can be absolutely proven. Though the exact math is still being fine tuned. During the repositioning of the 'large' satellite, the two objects will be at an exact point where any satellite launched from Earth will be GREATLY accelerated due to a 'Catapult' effect. It's like two slingshots effects acting in the middle. That the launched satellite might just burn into Jupiter is a small mathematical error. Or that the accelerated object might just bump into Uranus or make Pluto larger by just that much, is also another smaller mathematical error.

    But since the time is now, those errors can be glossed over.

    That is a very rare example of ovular (as opposed to circular) reasoning.

    They'll still be free, if you allow the pop-up ads.

    In a setback to the DRM cartel, the FW Webb company has claimed that DRM (Digital Rotational Measurement) technology was developed and patented by them and the acronym was already trademarked. Hence the Rights Mgmt group could take a hike and no longer use the term.

    The un-DRM-ised group is now in the lookout for a better monicker.

    I have derived a complete mechanics starting from the concept that centrifugal force is pronounced with accent on the penultimate, not the antepenultimate.

    The antepenultimate is the money you have to kick into the pot before the next to last hand in a round of poker is dealt.

    There are six consecutive nines early in the decimal expansion of Pi to give engineers a good place to round off.

    The first of the arsonists died off quickly, when they came round to realising that stone caves were quite difficult to burn.

    Hebrew-Irish conservationist Yelizavetam O'Stone helped set up wildlife refuges in the early U.S. A national park has been named after her.

    The fire on-board the USS Miami has been blamed on a sub-contractor.
